walking to the car all happy. also some chocolate ice cream and a party hat 🔺
I once did this. I went to a grocery store and picked out a chocolate cake, brought it up to the checkout and the cashier asked me “what’s the cake for, special occasion?”. To which I replied “nah, it’s for eating.” No more words were exchanged.
I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don’t actually need it that bad
Cake mix is $5.
You can freeze leftover cheesecake.
That’s way too much for cheesecake, who’s your cake guy?
Idk, depends how good it is. In today’s market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.
Ah but you see I bike there, which means that it is healthy! Fitness is my passion.
I run often, and unfortunately it’s a lot harder to stay thin as I’m pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.
Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn’t burn the calories the same. If you’re a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there’s diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says “hey, this is my new normal,” and essentially burns the same calories whether you’re on the couch or exercising. There’s a lot more nuance to it in the video.
It seems we’re all doomed to just get old.
This is a dangerous realization for some.
One time I was promised cake if I just did a series of tests on a prototype, though the tests seemed more like they were testing my problem solving skills rather than the prototype itself.
Anyways, the cake was great, so delicious and moist.
It was overall a very rewarding experience that I recommend everyone sign up for.
This is a lie
I actually installed it this week to give it another go, this timing is golden haha
I’m trying to nudge my daughter into playing it, but I guess I shared too many other interesting looking games with the family. A Game About Digging A Hole caught her eye first lol.
The death of innocence is reaching the point where you could do that, but it wouldn’t even make you happy because of health reasons.
Can also bake one.
On top of probably tasting better, it’s also more fun.
I buy myself a 8 inch cake one day a year. My birthday.
I’m in my 40s. But I love cake. But cake not great for health.
1 cake is acceptable.
This is one of the best parts of adulthood. And drinking out of the milk carton. Often these things go together. 😉
You can choose an afternoon of sweet tastes followed by sugar crashing, tweaking and twitching on the couch and extending the habits of early onset diabetes.
It will take you years of disciplined exercise to reverse the effects!
Huh …. Then I remember all those cakes I made as a kid with my moms help were so much better than crap from a grocery, but I no longer have time or practice to do that
The girls that lived across the street from me had an Easy-Bake oven. Even as a kid I knew those little cakes were fucking terrible. I ate them anyway. Thank god for LED lightbulbs.
Nice try cake making industry.
Tried this once while watching Matilda when I got to that scene. Paused it and went to the store and bought a gallon of milk, then stopped by portillos and got a chocolate cake.
Later that night I had big regrets
